A History of the Festival
The St Ives September Festival of Music and The Arts was first
launched in 1978 and continued to 1986 when it finally became
a victim of the recession. It was restarted in 1994 and this
time it lasted to 2001. A lower key 'Fringe' version ran
in the town up to 2004 and since then a higher profile has
been brought back to the event. Amongst acts who have played
